The confessedly fair and orderly election
which was held in this city yesterday should
put permanently to rest the silly and SANDER
Gus stories which have been recently circulated
about Baltimore being under the control of

yesterdays election could scarcely have been
fairer or more peaceable. In city that

there were isolated instances of fraudulent
voting, but on the whole the people got what
they demanded-an honest vote and fair
count None but the most chronic and hope
less soreheads will now complain.
Now let the New York papers give the
romance of the terminal classes who are
alleged to govern Baltimore rest. That
story won't wash.
Ofeourse outside partisan papers will herald
the result of yesterday S election as triumph
of the ring and the machine But as a
matter of fact it was a fair and square popular
contest, in which the majority won.
The Herald, in another article, says that
the nomination of Mr.. Bartlett was as strong
as could have been made; that he was man
around whom not only the business COM
munity, but the people at large, the working
men and laborers, could rally with enthusiasm.
From the Baltimore SIM
After q contest of almost UNPRECEDENTED
bitterness the municipal election yesterday
resulted in the success of the Democratic can
didate for the mayorality by majority more
than double that obtained by Mayor Hodges
in the memorable contest of two years ago,
and considerably larger than the majority OBJ
tanned by Mayor Latrobe in the Heiskell
campaign in 1888. The Democratic party was
confronted in the campaign just ended not
merely by the forces of the allied Republicans
and so-called Reformers in this city, but by
formidable pressure from without, exerted by
influences which, antagonistic in some cases
towards each other, had yet a common inter-
est in bringing discredit upon the Cleveland
administration. A great outcry was
made concerning alleged registration frauds
and Irregularities, and it was openly asserted
that elections in Baltimore had becoms- a
mockery and farce. = How utterly base
less and fallacious were these charges was
demonstrated in part by the practical outcome
OF the registration cases, which proved beyond
a doubt that the percentage of names impro
perry on the lists was absurdly small, and that
the registered vote Of Baltimore is, with due
allowance for the changes in residence, and
the deaths which are constantly occurring in
every large city, remarkably free from fcti-
tions or improperly registered names.
The. small army Of correspondents from
abroad who were in town yesterday, braced
up for big accounts of ballot-box stufine.
went to bed last night disguised at the honest
manner in which the election was conducted.
That breezy campaign liar, the New York
World, which ''went abroad to learn the
news" has learned it.
Mr.. John X. Cowen has succeeded by his
campaign of SANDER in doubling the Demo-
cratic majority received in the last municipal
election. As q wrecker of the political
organization which trusted itself to his lead
ershIp, he has proved an immense and graft
Tying success. To any party which desires 10
be beaten horse. foot and dragons, we com
mend Mr.. Cowen as an able guide, philoso.
pher and friend.
From the Baltimore american.
Fraud is again triumphant in our CITY.
The united and energetic work Of Rennbi;.
cans and Reform Democrats was powerless
Yesterday against entrenched corruption,
The miserable election law which the Deme-
cratic managers cling to with the desperation
OF drowning men, afforded ample opportuni-
ties for the repetition of the pernicious
practices which have SO often made a farce Of
elections in this city and State, and again
defeated the will of the people. Repeating.
IN its most aggravated form, prevailed in the
Democratic strongholds which gave Hodges a
majority two years ago, and citizens-especi.
ally the colored yoters--were iutimidated or
driven from the polls.
Everybody expected the american to erv
fraud. 1t at,rdys does when the Democrats
don't use its columns to publish cards and
